@Lord Marcus I know. I was refering not to fact that they would also be unarmoured, but that they would also be late roman. 😃

Had this idea during the late shift. Cybernetic undead. Hear me out. Either cannon fodder kind of jumpsuit, generic "uniforms" or uniforms of others in the death fields we've seen. Feet ending i...

@Steven StGeorges  The tight beret was also designed by the French, for their tank crews towards the end of WW1.  However, yes... the most common military beret design does derive from ...

Shared excitement here. Both as a retailer and for adding to my legion project.

@Vitor Soares the only confirmed army builders are late Romans in lorica hamata and gothic infantry

@Don Williams thank you for giving me an alternative when I can't get my usual basing material.

@Estoc unfortunately I am not a magnetic leader of men like Imperator Augustus or Marcus Aurelius. As you can see my first centurio is well underway, with a unit of auxiliary Foederati also in pro...

@Mark Dewis  Stahhelme mmm... 🤔 or a Morion with Stahhelme elements... 👌 Anglo-saxon style beret since it is side by side with the GI headgear so seems more logical to me... the classic Fren...

@Estoc   That's old hat

Hmmm. Of the heads we have seven modern/SF options (3xGI helmet, 3xBeret and the techy chinguard one), eight premodern/Fantasy ones (3xMorion, 3x skullcap, the bald one with a match in his teeth an...

I thought you meant 1:1 as in the size of a human. This isn't quite as impressive, but still absurd.

Could still be four folios deep, with the chesticles being separate (to flatten the sprue). But at four bodies per body sprue, that'd be a bonkers strong <2.5€ per large-sized dude, and sti...

I only noticed yesterday that Warlord do have some plastic Commonwealth head options on their 8th army and Commonwealth sprues. Sikhs, Hindus, Tams, slouch hats (though without the side pinned up.....

@Blutze I agree on the space used for SCIFI. On a predominately fantasy release that was supposed to include some bits for Death Fields it seems like the main sprue caters more to Deathfields. 4 la...

This one's getting kinda bloated. Maybe I should put the Empire stuff into a separate thread. Though they are still heavily involved in this interconnected mess, so they do kinda belong here... Ma...

Gotta go against the group here. As with the spiders and the lizardmen, I am bothered by sprue space being wasted on non-fantasy bits. Be it modern or sci-fi, I like to enjoy them (if I do in the f...

@JTam  Nay ... even worse Godzilla Cat!!!  https://coleandmarmalade.com/2022/03/09/these-cats-smash-model-trains-for-a-living/  

@Berggeit  Or just check that page http://warhammerarmiesproject.blogspot.com/2013/12/alternative-miniatures-cathay.html Guys from WFB armies project are used to provide alternative minis ....

@JTam  You .... 🤣 😂 Are you going to Armenia thereafter? @William Redford  🤣

@Mark Dewis  Problem is ... historical accuracy here. The Vain -so the DF team- is supposed to be former Lansquenets -so of German, mostly Bavarian, or Swiss stock- transformed into Brutes.&n...

@JTam I ... really dont know what to say to that. 

@Lord Marcus Yeah, I want to see how they look together. I have some of Mantic's Restic ogres, and they are one of the few mantic minis I like. (the others being the demon guys and girls) So if the...

@Berggeit I'll be including the other kits either is part of the main project or as sub projects.   Speaking of 10 Foederati Numeri Infantry, awaiting the rest of their unit before being ba...

@Mark Dewis  A couple of days ago I learned the one of the national symbols of Georgia is the butt plug: Questionable emblems aside, Georgia is a beautiful country.

You're a madlad. Good luck and be sure to keep us up too date.  Are you only going to do the current available kit or wait for the army builder and the other kits too? 

@William Redford there are photos out of mantics new plastics. Are you thinking of a direct comparison? Because I will get that for you as soon as both of them are available.

@Mark Dewis that is actually my hopeful intent. To sponsor a big game at a few convention's as a form of advertising (I'm a retailer and carry WGA kits) with a full legio in a solid color scheme, f...

A noble ambition. Display aside, Ancient battles were often small enough for this to be a practical thing.  You could game a full legion against another one, or a suitable number of barbarians...

I also have a partial century of Comitatenses infantry painted   

establishing an outpost 1:1 scale, 1100 miniature + auxiliaries roman legion project.

@Alessio De Carolis thanks for the kind words. Modern webbbing comes in  a lot of shades, including camo in some cases. In this case it's science fiction, so I have a bit of latitude. Might e...

I'm a bit surprised about some of the part placement. It's possible this isn't the final layout.  In particular we have four BFGs to three bodies. It would seem to make more sense to me that ...

@Steven StGeorges Berets were worn in WW2. Those heads would be fine for that era (and later).

@Mark Dewis  and a pity Nick Lund did stop sculpting minis...   

While performing my weekly mundane inspection of neighbourhood waste bins, I recovered a couple of tower fans, an pedestal fan, three alarm clocks and an old dvd player and put them aside in order ...

Clever. The WW2 looking Ogre heads (GI helmets and berets) will become useful trade items for people who might be doing projects of that era that involve fantasy or mad science elements. Or who wan...

@Geoff Maybury I will get a box either way, but I want to see how mantic's look. If I don't like mantic's then I will get the 3 boxes of WA

Could be tempted by these they do look good.@William Redford 

@Red Bee Love  em Red Bee, Truly "But I feel dizzy my head is spinning " why am I singing "I`m lossing control" Oh the rooms ssssssssppppping aaaaaahahhhh. Sorrry toooott mmmuch ASSSIDDDD.&nbs...

@William Redford I`ve been on the side reading this with a bigger and bigger smile developing, it`s been a lovely read guys Bill great collection, whats with this shame buisness guys, it`s a "Strat...

Very bright. Let's just change the heads (Tschakos, Mützen or Stahlhelme), weapons (MP 35 or 38, K.98k, P08 or P38) and colour of the uniforms, and we can have members of the Ordnungs or Schu...

I strongly support you, Dewis Jauna. Slouch hats and "lemon squeezer" (or trooper) hats would be welcome in the figurine world. There would be so many possibilities* ! *ie. : Australians, "Kiwis",...

@Atlas Allen-Manning Great minds think alike ;) Nice miniatures but they don't really fit the style I am going for.  @Steven StGeorges Nice 👌 @Mark Dewis That is possibility indeed, I do kee...

@Red Bee Ha... from what I have heard of the spiders... yikes. Thats all you had to say! :)

@William Redford I fully understand. I have wanted an army of satyrs for ages, but I think I'd rather build two or three boxes of Spiders rather than finish the box of Fauns I have in my Pile of Pr...

@Red Bee I have wanted to get some of the fauns for a while but always talk myself out of it. 

I got a box of the Fauns. I think they were a bit of a mixed bag. The limbs are very spindly, which made gluing a pain, and kit bashing a bit more limited, but there is a pretty good variety of bit...

Drowned Earth are doing a new range for the game,Large Dinos, as a center piece for each factor, The first shown is for the Artefacters. It will serves as a mobile camp, + research center,all store...

closeup of the heads

I like the full extra sprue... but am now worried about how many figues will be in a box. If its 12 figues. That is 4 body frames so how many weapon frames? and if its 3 body frames (9 figures) the...
